AI governance
AI governance
How Cognance uses AI, and the controls around it. This page separates what is built today from what is planned.
Where AI is used
BuiltThe KYC agent uses a language model only for name pairs a deterministic check can't resolve. Exact matches never reach the model.
Human oversight
BuiltRecommendations below a confidence threshold are routed to human review. The agent has no automated reject path; a rejection can only come from a human reviewer.
The client decides
BuiltEvery output is labelled as a recommendation. The client institution retains every decision.
Explainable recommendations
PlannedEvery recommendation is stored with its reasoning, confidence score, model version and timestamp, and can be retrieved for audit.
Consistent outputs
BuiltThe model is configured to minimise run-to-run variation, and a deterministic check runs before any model call.
Your data and the model
In progressWe don't train or fine-tune models on client data (built today). Reviewed cases are added to our evaluation dataset, masked, only with the client's written consent (planned).
Evaluation
In progressOur labeled evaluation set holds 46 examples today. Accuracy benchmarking begins once a larger, balanced dataset exists, and we'll publish the method and results then.
Model and prompt changes
PlannedModel and prompt versions are tracked, and clients are told before a change affects their traffic.
Fairness across Indian names
PlannedIndian names vary across scripts, transliterations and regional naming conventions. Testing across these patterns is planned as part of the benchmark.
Incidents
PlannedIf an AI-related incident affects a client's recommendations, we notify that client without undue delay, within 72 hours of becoming aware.
